Interactive visualizations #33

Open sdspieg opened 7 years ago

sdspieg commented 7 years ago

Is there a way to generate interactive visualizations? E.g. whereby -in the topic modelling, we can click on a topic, and that specific line graph will be highlighted? Or where we can click on a year, and see the actual value? Things like that. Thanks!

Hi Stephan,

Yes, that would be a great idea! I previously made a note to myself about it in these issues: https://github.com/benmarwick/JSTORr/issues/17 and https://github.com/benmarwick/JSTORr/issues/11

Currently I think the best approach would be with the ggplotly function from https://github.com/ropensci/plotly. Are you familiar with it? As I understand, you can pass a ggplot object to ggplotly and get an interactive version of the ggplot. You might give it a try with the plot output from this package as an experiment, do let me know what you find.

I'll let you know when I make progress on this, but you may well work it out before me!
